The insurance tables will be the starting point for the 'value' of that
lost life and for the surviving girl. Payment will be low balled and
up to those two girl's family lawyers to work the jury on 'pain and suffering...etc'
You guys won't notice a 1,500 lb trailer, nor would I, but most who
would rent/own that small a utility trailer will NOT be (typically)
towing it with what we have as TV's
Most will be 'ride quality' half tons and 'cars' with less than 5K GVWRs
They are the ones am addressing with my comment of needing trailer brakes
on those small utility trailers
Another designers axiom...: "design it for the idiot and gorilla"
as if they can do it wrong, they will...
Am okay that California has a 1.5K threshold line for trailer brakes, and
wish it was lower and again, okay at the current threshold
